3. No. 18 Kansas State at Vanderbilt

So far this season, Kansas State has had two matchups, putting up 55 points in each and making quick work of their opponents. They played the Charlotte 49ers and Central Arkansas in their first two weeks. Not quite the challenging opponent you’d imagine, but they did exactly what they were supposed to.

On the other sideline, Vanderbilt did the exact same thing, taking their first two opponents and defeating them easily. They played Alabama A&M and Middle Tennessee State and beat them by a combined 64 points.

Game No. 3 will be a tough test for both of these teams. Kansas State will finally head on the road for the first time this season, while Vanderbilt gets to play a ranked opponent.

Both offenses have been steamrolling their opponents and defenses have been suffocating. On the road, according to SportsBookReview, Kansas State is only 4.5-point favorite, meaning it’ll probably be a close finish.

Both teams don’t want to lose their first game of the season and Vanderbilt doesn’t want to drop one of the most important games of the year.

This matchup might have been underrated because of the teams, but trust me, this matchup has a potential to be a fun one.
